Main characters

Bale embraces the dark menacing side of Batman keeping the viewer in surprise of this unlikely hero. Preforming many of his own stunts Bale was put through a vigorous training schedule resulting in the build of a man who resembles a Superhero. The true talent however is with the super villain Joker, played by Heath Ledger in what can only be described as an Oscar worthy performance.  Ledger managed to create a character like no other; he described the Joker as a “psychopathic, mass murdering, schizophrenic clown with zero empathy”. Many have suggested that the stress of playing such a complex character may have attributed to his untimely passing; needless to say this character is one of his best enactments ever.
The movie is dark, unnerving and mesmerizing the best addition so far to the ever growing Batman series.
